Notes for European Societies Around 1492
#1. The European Social Order
In 1400s most European lived in small village just like most Native Americans and most Africans. European society is based on hierarchy. Monarchs and nobles had most power and wealth at the top of rank. Majority of people were at the bottom hierarchy who are peasants. They labored for nobles what are supplying crops or livestock and military service. Nobles offered their peasant's land and protect their peasants. The people who earned money by trades were small in the 1400s. The profit they earned was valuable source of tax revenue.
The family in society
Europeans recognized and respected kinship ties, the extended family was not as important as it was for Native American and African society at this time. Life centered around the nuclear family, mother and father and their children, and gender determined the division of labor. Peasant families' men worked on the field and helped livestock. Women helped in the fields and handled childcare and household work.
#2 Christianity shapes the European outlook
The Roman Catholic Church was the dominant religious institution in western Europe. The pope, leader of church, and his bishops had great political and spiritual power. They determined most matters of faith.
Crusading Christianity
In the early 700s, Muslim armies had seized huge areas of Asia and North Africa along with most of the Iberian peninsula, where Spain and Portugal sit. To regain territory Spanish Christians wages campaign called reconquest
Finally, they drove Muslims from the peninsula but, this victory ended more than seven centuries of religious warfare and spread Christianity around the globe.
Meanwhile, Christian armies to force the Muslims our of the Holy Land around Jerusalem. From 1096 to 1270, Europeans launched the Crusades.
In the end, these bloody Crusades failed to 'regain' the Holy Land, but, they had two consequences that encouraged European exploration and expansion. First, they sparked an increase in trade. Second, the Crusades weakened the power of European nobles. Eventually, monarchs sponsored overseas exploration in order to increase their wealth and power.
Decline in church authority
The Crusades had a third long-term consequence: the decline of the power of the pope and power increase of monarch. There was power struggles in 1300s and 1400s between church and monarchs.
Disagreements over church authority, along with outrage over corrupt practices among clergy, let to movement known as the Reformation. It formed protestant sects across the Atlantic to seek religious freedom.
Changes come to Europe
As the 1400s began European societies were still recovering from series of damages from disasters during the previous century. After the disasters, Europe experienced vigorous growth and change. The expansion of Europe pushed Europeans to look to other lands.
The growth of commerce and population
The Crusades opened up Asian trade route and Eastern luxuries. They traded with Muslim merchants who controlled the flow of goods through much of the Middle East. As opportunity to trade increased new markets were established and new trade routes were opened.
After plagues Europe's population had rebounded and it encouraged the growth of towns. Return to urban life brought about far-reaching social and cultural change. The new urban middle class would assume increasing political power, especially in Britain and its colonies.
The rise of nations
The Crusades weakened not only church but also nobility however, monarchies strengthened. Western European monarchs began have more control over their lands by collecting taxes, raising professional armies, and strengthening central government.
Only the king or queen of a unified nation had enough power and resources to finance overseas exploration at that time. Monarchs had powerful motive for the quest for new lands and trading routes. They mainly needed money so that they made quest for explore new lands.
The renaissance
The Renaissance led to a more secular spirit, and interest in worldly pleasures, and a new confidence in human achievement.
#3 Europe Enters a New Age of Expansion

Europeans needed more than maps to guide then through uncharted waters. European ship captains adopted the compass and the astrolabe, navigating tools that helped plot direction
Portugal takes the lead
Under prince Henry the navigator, Portugal developed and employed these innovations. For almost 40 years, Prince Henry sent his captains sailing farther and farther south along the west coast of Africa.
In Spain an adviser of Queen Isabella pointed out that supported Columbus.
